My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey)

Chapter 249

Audrey slapped her forehead""""stration.

She had forgotten Alistair was still in the

office.

Then she said to Alistair, "I'm going to meet Mrs. Rhodes, but I'm not sure how long I'll be. Do you want to go home first?"

Hearing this, Alistair was momentarily disappointed.

After his confession, he thought she would get a bit closer to him

However, Audrey still didn't want Alistair to help.

Even though he felt a bit helpless, he didn't want to push it..

He agreed, "Okay, I'll head home first. I'll make your favorite Honey Mustard Ribs and Garlic Butter Shrimp for dinner. How does that sound?"

Thinking about the food, Audrey felt better, and with a cheerful mod, she said, "Sure."

Emily watched their natural and sweet interaction, sighing with envy.

They weren't making any intimate gestures or saying sweet words.

However, whenever they appeared together, they seemed very close and admirable.

Emily was happy for Audrey.

She pondered, 'After freeing herself from that jerk Dominic, Audrey finally found her true love.

'Even though her husband doesn't appear as wealthy as Dominic, they look so adorable together.'

After seeing Alistair off, Audrey handed her phone to Emily and said, "Emily, there's a document on the phone. Print it for me and bring it to the meeting room in half an hour." "Okay," Emily said without asking any questions. Then she took the phone and left.

Three minutes later, Audrey arrived at the meeting room entrance.

She took a deep breath, rubbed her cheeks slightly, and then reached out to open the door.

Fiona sitting on the couch turned her head like a startled bird.

The moment Audrey saw Fiona, she was surprised.

Fiona's usually neat hair was now messily draped over her shoulders. A visible slap mark was on her cheek, and her eyes were red and swollen. She looked quite disheveled.

It was hard to imagine that Fiona, who usually valued her appearance and even put on delicate makeup at home, would show up in front of Audrey looking like this one day.

As soon as Fiona saw Audrey, her eyes filled with tears, and she sadly called out, "Audrey..."

Had Audrey witnessed Fiona in such a pitiful condition previously, she would have been overwhelmed with sorrow and would have preferred that she had been the one to suffer the pain. But now, when she saw Fiona's eyes full of eagerness and pleading, Audrey felt nothing inside.

Audrey walked calmly to Fiona, pulled out the chair across from her, and sat down. With a detached tone, Audrey asked, "Mrs. Rhodes, what brings you here?" Fiona felt a strong wave of panic rise within her.

She looked at Audrey's indifferent face, pressed her lips to hold back tears, and stood up to reach for Audrey's hand. She said, "Audrey, your dad..."

Audrey suddenly raised her eyes and gave Fiona a cold look, saying, "He's not my dad."

At that moment, Fiona felt as if she were frozen by the icy gaze of Audrey, and her throat felt constricted, rendering her speechless.

Fiona's expression changed, and she awkwardly said, "Right, he's not your dad; he's a brute! Audrey, I never imagined he'd keep a mistress and even hit me."

Talking about it, Fiona couldn't hold back the sadness any longer and her voice became choked with emotion.

Seeing that Audrey still remained expressionless, Fiona felt even more uneasy.

She looked directly at Audrey, reaching out to take her hand.

However, Audrey quickly moved away, clearly not wanting any physical contact with Fiona.

Fiona's eyes widened. Her expression turned downcast, and she started sobbing in pain and embarrassment.

Audrey let her cry, showing no intention of offering comfort.

Tired from crying, Fiona wiped her tears with her hand, rolled up her sleeve to reveal red marks on her arm to Audrey, and said, "Audrey, look, I got these bruises from that home-wrecking witch. "Your dad... Albert even helped her hit me, and now he wants a divorce. They've bullied me so badly. Can you please help me?"

After receiving the divorce papers from Albert and witnessing his affair, Fiona was devastated.

She never formed her own opinions. In this situation, with no other options, she could only resort to throwing a tantrum and crying. Ultimately, she had no choice but to seek Audrey's assistance. However, Audrey replied coldly, "Why should I help you?"

Hearing this, Fiona froze, weakly collapsing onto the couch, and muttered, "Audrey... If you don't help me, who will? Without you, I can't go on."

Audrey wasn't moved by this plea, her tone even colder, "What does your life have to do with me? Mrs. Rhodes, have you forgotten that we're no longer connected?"

Fiona didn't know how to reply for a moment.
